121. I Survive on a Deserted Island

"You mean you guys separated halfway?"

Gu Xixi's voice was a little cold, with a faint metallic quality. Naturally, a stone wall was erected around her to isolate herself from others, making it difficult for people to get close to her.

"Well, it was only about two hours after entering the forest."

Xu Santong nodded. He looked much more embarrassed than Ouyang. In addition, he had been running for his life for a long time. For a person of his age, it was really a difficult test, even if he had already sat down to rest. After a while, he was still breathing heavily.

"We encountered a group of monkeys who chased us and smashed things. We accidentally got separated while getting rid of the monkey group. However, more than 40 minutes ago, we met again according to the marks we made when we entered the forest. This time we were lucky. Even worse, we encountered a very long python, which was as thick as a tree trunk and more than ten meters long. We ran for a long time and finally got rid of it. "

This time it was Ouyang who supplemented Xu Santong's words.

The two showed the wounds on their bodies. Many of them were scratches from branches and sharp leaves. Most of them were on the face and the back of the hands. There were no scars on their bodies because of the material of their clothes.

"Is there water?" Xu Santong asked after Ouyang finished.

His throat was very dry. He had run too fast and was nervous and sweating. He was slightly dehydrated. If he didn't replenish water in time, it might have a great impact on his body.

Because they were anxious to ask what happened to the two of them, they all forgot about it. Gu Xihe walked towards the spaceship next to the camp. Drinking water and other important survival supplies were put into the spaceship after everyone left the camp just now.

Although the spacecraft is now abandoned due to malfunctions, its defensive capabilities are still very good. If it weren't for the fact that they had to live in their own tents for live broadcasts, many players would still think of spending the night in the spacecraft, which is safer.

There wasn't much water left, so Gu Xihe poured about two mouthfuls each for Xu Santong and Ouyang. The two of them knew the current situation and didn't mind at all. They took small sips and slowly swallowed them in their mouths.

"Just now when I returned to the spaceship, I saw a message from Dou Xiong, saying that the live broadcast of the two of you was shut down not long ago and was not restored until more than half an hour ago. The reason for the termination of the live broadcast cannot be seen in the video. I don’t know what kind of animal you are being chased by.”

Logically speaking, Douxiong will not contact them during the live broadcast unless there are special circumstances. For the same reason, players cannot contact Douxiong on their own initiative. Therefore, before going to get water, none of the nine people present thought about going to the terminal of the spaceship. Take a look above.

"The live broadcast has been suspended?"

Xu Santong and Ouyang's expressions suddenly turned uglier. With only a few days of live broadcast time in total, they suddenly lost half a day of live broadcast compared to other players. This is not a good thing for building popularity.

"But the live broadcast never left our sight from beginning to end?"

Ouyang asked doubtfully: "Could it be that the magnetic field of some place we passed before can block the signal of the live ball?"

Xu Santong also couldn't figure it out. So far, it seemed that he could only agree with Ouyang's guess.

"You separated two hours after entering the forest and met again forty-five minutes ago. All of us entered the forest around ten o'clock. It is now half past two in the afternoon. In other words, you two had more than an hour in the middle. The time is separate, so what are you doing during this time? "

Yan Chu was about to ask this question, but Gu Xixi beat him to it.

"What do you mean by this? We are competitors in the same competition, not the prisoners you are interrogating."

No one would be happy if they were repeatedly attacked by animals in the forest and almost killed by a python. Gu Xixi's tone of voice was as cold as ever, which naturally made Ouyang uncomfortable.

Xu Santong is better. After all, he is older, more stable and tolerant.

"Gu Xixi didn't mean that."

Yan Chu helped to smooth things over. His injuries were bandaged by Gu Xixi, and in the wilderness, you can't offend anyone by offending a doctor.

"It's just that Gu Xihe also said just now that your live broadcast was resumed half an hour ago, which means that during the time you were separated, their live broadcast room was also off the air. In this way, the range of the signal blocking Maybe it’s not too young. Please ask clearly so that we can avoid that area when entering the forest in the future.”

Yan Chu's explanation made Ouyang's face look much better. He was also very upset just now. When he calmed down, he thought of Gu Xixi's job, so he reluctantly said sorry to Gu Xixi.

Gu Xixi still maintained her original stance without frowning. She was indifferent to Ouyang's apology, which almost made Ouyang's nose crooked with anger.

"I don't know. I was running in such a panic that I didn't even know where I was when I got rid of the monkeys. Or I returned to the original path based on the traces of branches and footprints along the way."

Xu Santong smoothed things over, patted Ouyang on the shoulder and asked him about the situation there.

"Like Brother Xu, I spent all that time looking for the road. I didn't even know how far I had traveled. When I was looking for the way back, I was careful to avoid the attention of the monkeys and didn't bother to mark it. "

It seemed that no useful information could be obtained from the two people's mouths.

"But we have marked the way from the camp. Every ten meters or so, we will carve an x ​​on the nearest tree with a dagger until we are suddenly attacked by monkeys. If you want to avoid the area where there may be magnetic field problems, just go around the road we marked."

Xu Santong said to Yan Chu and others. His straightforward statement made Ou Yang unhappy. In his opinion, there was no need to tell Yan Chu and others about this. They lost half a day of live broadcast time for nothing. If Yan Chu and others could accidentally go to that strange place, everyone would experience this process once, wouldn't it be fair?

It's a pity that Xu Santong had said it, and it would be a bit embarrassing for Ou Yang to stop him. Now everyone's live broadcast ball is on, and the audience may be disgusted when they see it.

[So it's just a magnetic field problem? Fortunately, nothing really happened.]

[Don't be too relieved. Didn't the two just say they were chased by pythons? Who knows how many pythons there are on the island? I hope the federal rescue team can find them quickly. Rescuing people is the most important thing.]

Because Xu Santong and Ou Yang's live broadcast room stopped broadcasting without warning, many viewers came in as soon as the live broadcast resumed, wanting to know what happened to the two.

[I have to say that I don't like Gu Xixi's attitude just now. Just like what Ou Yang said, it's like interrogating a prisoner. Although they are competitors this time, they don't have to be so indifferent to the contestants who almost had an accident.]

Some viewers were a little unhappy with Gu Xixi's attitude just now, especially since Ou Yang took the initiative to say sorry, what's wrong with her saying it's okay or saying sorry in the same way.

[The person above must have never watched Gu Xixi's live broadcast before. She is just like this. Not to mention Ouyang, even her brother Gu Xihe rarely gets her smile]

[That's right, it takes a miracle to see our Xiaoxi smile]

Gu Xixi's fans defend her. Everyone has different aesthetic preferences. Some viewers like Gu Xixi's cold beauty style, especially this cold beauty is a doctor. The fantasy of her holding a cold scalpel is simply charming and makes people scream.

[I'm really curious if it would really make people happy to face such a dead face in real life? Or do you like Xiaoxing or Linda, a loli and a queen, either of which is better than a mobile freezer]

[Fans of Sheng Xiaoxing and Linda, get out of here. Whether it's comparing faces or IQ, how can these two of your family compare to our Xixi]

[......The people above, this is Ouyang's live broadcast room......]

Disputes on the Internet will never stop. After half of the danger was lifted, the fans of each contestant began to protest for their idols and other fans.

After asking Xu Santong what happened, the teams dispersed again. It was a long time since the usual lunch time. Everyone's stomach was protesting against them. Only Xu Santong and his team were a little embarrassed. They were exhausted from running all the way. Even the fruits they found at the beginning had long been lost in the process of fleeing. If they wanted to fill their stomachs, it seemed that they had no choice but to chew leaves.

Yan Chu took out four apples from his backpack and handed them to Sheng Xiaoxing, asking her to send them to Xu Santong and his team.

"We also ate the snake caught by Brother Xu last night."

Sheng Xiaoxing was also a kind girl. They had a lot of delicious food now, so they naturally didn't hesitate to give him a few apples.

"Thank you."

Xu Santong didn't expect that there would be other players willing to send food after the game started. Looking at Sheng Xiaoxing, he was a little surprised and a little moved.

"Brother Yan asked me to send it to you."

Sheng Xiaoxing put the apples in front of the two of them, then waved to Xu Santong, and then jumped back to her and Yan Chu's position.

She had just moved her things out of the original tent and now put them in Yan Chu's tent. Anyway, they all used sleeping bags to sleep at night. Since the two of them formed a team, it would be more convenient to live together. The tent was big enough for two people to sleep. No one would think too much about special circumstances.

Ou Yang looked at these four fruits that he had never seen in the interstellar space, and he didn't dare to eat them. He was afraid that the fruits were poisonous.

Putting himself in their shoes, he would not be so kind to help his competitors during the competition stage. This was one million star coins.

Xu Santong didn't think so much. Yan Chu was not stupid. He gave them a few poisonous fruits under the eyes of so many spectators. In addition, he was really hungry, so he didn't think too much. He wiped the fruits and ate them directly.

Crisp and sweet, with plenty of water, the two sips of water just now could not quench his thirst at all. This red fruit completely solved this problem.

Xu Santong thought that this might be the most delicious fruit he had ever eaten in his life. Forgive a hungry and thirsty man, what he eats at this time is the most delicious in the entire interstellar space.

Ouyang watched Xu Santong eat the fruit, thought about it, took two of them and put them beside him. If Xu Santong didn't feel poisoned after eating, he would eat them.

[My Yan is handsome and kind-hearted. I just want to ask, is there any man more perfect than him in the whole galaxy]

[He is kind-hearted, but I think it is hypocrisy. He is just putting on a show to win people's favor, or like Ouyang, he just wants to let Xu Santong, a fool, test the poison]

[People with a heart see everything as dirty. Of course, people like you can't understand Yan Chu's realm of thought]

The comments in the live broadcast room were flying. Generally speaking, Yan Chu and Sheng Xiaoxing's popularity increased slightly because of the act of sending fruits, while Ou Yang's little trick that he thought no one noticed was seen by the sharp-eyed audience. From the eighth place in popularity at the beginning, he fell behind to the last place.

Xu Santong didn't expect Gu Xihe to send him something. If Yan Chu and Sheng Xiaoxing were to thank him for the snake meat last night, Gu Xihe didn't need to do it at all. He touched so many seafood yesterday, and he also got some.

But after thinking about it, he understood that this was sent for Gu Xixi. What a good brother.

This time, Xu Santong took the chicken leg handed over by Gu Xihe without any burden. Two strange fruits plus a chicken leg that looked plump could at least guarantee his energy intake today.

Ou Yang looked at Gu Xihe eagerly, but the other party only sent Xu Santong a chicken leg, without any intention to give him. He was not sure whether the chicken leg was for Xu Santong alone or for the two of them to share.

He didn't dare to eat the strange fruit, but he dared to eat the chicken. He would eat even one if given one.

Xu Santong was a good man, but not a bad one. He and Ouyang formed an alliance because they lived in the same tent, but they were not at all close to each other. Now Ouyang also had two apples sent by Yan Chu, and he kept the chicken leg for himself, feeling at ease.

Seeing Xu Santong's silence, Ouyang also understood what he meant, and a rift appeared between the two teams.

On the other side, Yan Chu and Sheng Xiaoxing were busy with their lunch.

"Is this stone okay?"

Sheng Xiaoxing found a stone with a large flat surface according to Yan Chu's instructions and put it in front of Yan Chu. After Yan Chu nodded, she happily ran to the beach to carefully scrub the stone clean.

She scrubbed the stone slab carefully countless times until she was sure that the stone was completely clean, and then she came back from the beach.

Everyone stared at Yan Chu and his movements, curious about Sheng Xiaoxing's behavior of washing the stone.

Yan Chu had already shed the skin of the shorter snake body, and then used the utility knife to separate the snake bones and meat. He cut the white snake meat into thin slices, which had a crystal-clear luster under the sun.

He put the slate washed by Sheng Xiaoxing on the fire, waiting for the fire to heat the slate. He marinated the cut snake meat with ginger juice and rosehip juice, and ground the pepper powder into powder and put it aside for later use.

"Zi--"

The slate was already hot, and Yan Chu used a branch to hold a piece of snake meat and spread it flat on the slate. Almost instantly, a burst of white smoke came out of the snake meat. The originally translucent snake meat curled up and turned into a solid white color. The snake oil was roasted and made a pleasant sound.

Everyone present was attracted by the strange fragrance, especially the sour smell that was faintly diffused in the air, which made people salivate.

[I've never seen this kind of snake meat cooking method before, it seems delicious]

[Using stone slabs to conduct heat without kitchen utensils, Yan Chu is really a genius]

[I want to eat it, I'm drooling, can you send your tongue along the star network, I just want to taste it]

[Don't say anything, the stone is ready, the black mamba is also ready, where are the two seasonings that Yan Chu used to marinate the snake meat, they are said to be extinct species, where can I find him, please help the rescue team and consider our foodies' mood]

Yan Chu was not disturbed by the online messages, and carefully put the snake meat slices on the stone slab. Because the snake meat was cut thin, it cooked very quickly. After a while, the leaves next to it that served as temporary plates had piled up into a small mountain.

He sprinkled pepper powder on the snake meat, poured a little sour thorn juice on the snake meat, and then handed the roasted snake meat to Sheng Xiaoxing's hands.

"Eat the roasted snake meat while it's hot, otherwise it will be fishy."

Sheng Xiaoxing squatted by the fire, her mouth already watering from the aroma. When she saw Yan Chu handing the roasted snake meat to her, her eyes widened like a kitten.

"You're the chef, you eat first."

She knew Yan Chu had to roast the remaining meat, so she picked up a piece of roasted snake meat and handed it to Yan Chu's mouth. Yan Chu knew that if he didn't eat it, the little girl would definitely not eat it herself, so she opened her mouth and swallowed the snake meat into her mouth.

Before coming to this strange interstellar world, Yan Chu had never eaten black mamba snake meat, but as for the black mamba snake they were eating now, their meat was still very tender and sweet, combined with the spicy ginger and pepper and the sour taste of the sour thorns, the taste was very special, but it was undoubtedly delicious.

Yan Chu didn't know if it was the effect of this magical sour thorn, the earthy smell that should have existed in the snake meat could not be tasted at all. The cooking method was obviously very simple, but it tasted like a Michelin restaurant.

As a chef, Yan Chu gave himself a thumbs up.

Sheng Xiaoxing saw Yan Chu eating it, and immediately couldn't help but pick up a piece for herself.

It was so delicious, especially the faint sourness, which activated the taste buds. In this hungry state, it was so happy that people wanted to cry.

[....... My focus was off, was this an indirect kiss just now, was it an indirect kiss, ah ah ah, my Yan's innocence......]

[Yes...... But my focus was not off, did you see Xiaoxing's expression, I want to know whether she was happy because of the kiss of the male god, or because the snake meat was really delicious]

Sheng Xiaoxing was a bit nervous and never thought that the two of them would share a pair of chopsticks. He picked up a piece of snake meat for himself and another for Yan Chu. Before he finished eating the one in his hand, Yan Chu had roasted a full stack of snake meat. He was so happy that he was bubbling.

"Can I exchange half a chicken for this dish of snake meat?"

Gu Xihe looked at his sister gnawing on the burnt chicken leg expressionlessly. After a while of hesitation, he chopped off half of the other unroasted pheasant with a knife and walked to Yan Chu and asked.

Yan Chu and the others still had a pile of snake meat, but they hadn't seen pheasants since they entered the forest, so the two of them discussed it and agreed to exchange.

Gu Xihe returned to his seat with the dish of freshly roasted snake meat and put it in front of his sister.

"It tastes good."

Gu Xixi picked up a piece of snake meat and put it in his mouth, then pushed the dish of snake meat between the two of them, took a bite of chicken, and then a bite of snake meat.

Gu Xihe knew his sister's temper. She said it was good, so it must taste good.

He ate their roasted chicken in big mouthfuls, thinking whether he could share a table with Yan Chu and the others. Then he would let Yan Chu handle all the prey he caught, and he could take half of it as a reward. In this way, his sister's appetite would probably be much better.

After the snake meat was roasted, Yan Chu moved the stone slab away and dug out the Pu Shu that had just been buried under the fire, which was a food similar to modern potatoes.

The time of stewing was just right, the skin was slightly charred, and the thin layer of leather was peeled off. The Pu Shu meat inside was sandy, glutinous and fragrant. Sprinkle a little salt and take a bite, it was so satisfying.

[Others are here for adventure, they are here for a picnic]

[That's right, isn't what I'm watching a wild adventure program? No one said it was a food program, forcing me to chew nutritional supplements again]

Completely different from the other groups, the audience in the live broadcast room watched them slowly eat the snake meat and the plant called Pu Shu, and then cut apple cubes and enjoyed a fruit after dinner. Why did it look so eye-catching?

Linda couldn't help but feel a little regretful. She should have pulled Sheng Xiaoxing into their team before. In their opinion, Sheng Xiaoxing and Yan Chu were able to find so many plants because of Sheng Xiaoxing. After all, she was a top student in the Department of Plants, wasn't she?

"How much did you believe what Xu Santong and Ou Yang said before?"

Gu Xihe suddenly came over and asked Yan Chu while cleaning the slate by the river.

This was the first time the two favorites to win the championship had communicated since Yan Chu came to this world.

"Is there anything suspicious about their words?"

Yan Chu's slate was almost cleaned. He raised his eyebrows and asked back when he heard Gu Xihe's question.

"Nothing."

Gu Xihe smiled and said, "I don't know if we can share the table. You will be responsible for handling all the prey we catch in the future."

Gu Xihe skipped this topic. His sister asked him to ask the question just now, and he only wanted to ask the latter sentence.

"Okay."

Yan Chu drained the water on the slate and agreed without hesitation.

In the memory of the original body, Gu Xixi was the only one who survived. He was very curious about how the other party survived. Gu Xihe asked to share the table, which saved him time to approach the other party.

The conversation between the two people on the beach attracted the attention of the other two teams. Gu Xihe's team is now recognized as the strongest. If he plans to cooperate with Yan Chu and his partner, they should also think about how to deal with it.
